Trevor Ariza (groin) doubtful for Wizards Thursday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Trevor Ariza (left groin strain) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

Ariza exited in the first half on Wednesday and was replaced by Troy Brown for the start of the third quarter. Brown could be looking at his first career start for the second half of this back-to-back set while Jabari Parker and Jeff Green should both see a boost.

Ariza has averaged 28.1 FanDuel points in 68 games between the Wizards and Phoenix Suns this season. He's recorded 14.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.2 triples over 42 starts for Washington.
